Josh Allen on pace to start Week 12 vs. Jags, per Sean McDermott

It appears Buffalo Bills first-round pick, Josh Allen, will get his shot at making Jalen Ramsey eat his harsh words from this summer after the third-year corner mocked his first-ever pass in the NFL and called him trash. Per Bills coach Sean McDermott, Allen is on pace to return from the elbow injury he sustained Week 6 and will be a full participant leading into the Jags’ and Bills’ contest.

Allen began practicing on a limited basis two weeks ago, which set the timetable for his return to occur around this week. He too spoke with the media this week and seemed confident in his progress and added he likes where his arm strength is heading into Week 12’s contest.

“I’m making throws where I don’t have to second guess, putting the ball where it needs to be, and when I’m making each throw, there’s no grabbing or pulling in there and it feels comfortable and fluid,” Allen told the media. “Maybe two weeks ago I might’ve had a few throws where [I think] I don’t want to make this throw yet. Now, I definitely think it’s full game and every throw is on the table.”

That to me says the Jags should expect him to let it rip as Sunday marked his fifth week on the sidelines. His physical abilities, athleticism and arm strength are ultimately the key parts of his game scouts raved about back in the pre-draft process and one would have to think Bills fans are especially excited for his return. All that said, Allen could be a much-needed shot in the arm for the Bills’ offense which is last in points scored (13.7 ppg) and passing offense (159.8 ypg), and is next to last in yards per game (268.6 ypg).
